i
We are gratified that our remarks
some time ago in reference to a
county poor house have borne fruit,
| and that the county board of commissioners
realize the necessity of
such an institution for economy's
::x sake. The matter was discussed at
the meeting last Tuesday, and we
k-v feel sure that some Tdefinite actioD
will be taken before long. The
Bpjfr* present system of caring for the
? poor is too expensive, and a poor
fcfe farm should be established immediately
or the county will get in debt.
%. Two weeks ago there appeared in
%?'. onr local columns an item of news,
; which stated that Mr. W. Y. Sinoak,
I a prosperous farmer living near
Branchville?in Bamberg county.

ji?:. ~ preach against Mormouism. We
were somewhat surprised to find in
last Friday's Augusta Herald the
same articfc leaded up as editorirl,
and in a prominent place in theeditorial
column, without any credit.
... Of course it's all right?we are only
too glad to furnish our coutempoiary
with news?but we hardly thought
1 a daily newspaper would publish a
news : item from a little countrv
flplfrH weekly as editorial. Surely it waf

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS MEET.
Road from Bamberg to Springtown
Ford will be Opened?Poor House
Now a Necessity?Many Claims are
Passed Upon.
The most important matter considered
by 'the Board of County
Gommisssoners last Tuesday at its
regular quarterly meeting was the
proposed new road from this place
to Springtown Ford, and another
question informally discussed was
the advisability of building a Poor
w O
House, to accommodate the county's
ever increasing horde of paupers?
the number of our mendicant pop
, illation multiplying almost as rapidly
as does Uncle Sam's pensioners.
Many claims were passed upon, and
the vexed question of what proportion
of the expense of repairing tin
Fitz bridge should be borne by this
county was definitely settled.
All the members of the board,
Mi 'SSi John A. Bvrd, J. A. Chas
sereau, J. 1. Copeland, J. G. Rhoad,
aud P. A. Starr were present; Supervisor
J. B. Kearse presided with
dignity and patience; Clerk J. Walter
Free read over a countless number
of claim items until he was
hoarse, and County Attorney John
R, Bellinger. beamed indulgently
upon the members through his silver
rimmed spectacles, and interjected
words of legal advice from
time to time to guide them in their
deliberations.
It was high noon when the members
came to order, and the session
lasted four loug hours. After the
reading aud approval of the minutes
of the previous meeting, the
question of opening the proposed
Bamberg and Springtown road,
which had gone over front the last
meeting, came up.
Mr. L. N. Bellinger had been authorized
by the board to make a preliminary
survey of the proposed
route of the new thoroughfare, and
he appeared with a neatly drawn
map which was displayed before the
board while he described the topography
of the country through which
the road will pass. Its direction is
uearly southwest from the court
j house, aud it ends on the Joseph
. Yarn place, at Springtown ford on
the Little Salkehatchie river, a dis5
tauce of 6i miles, if it passes in
front of Henry Ransom's house, but
one-half mile further if his house is
left on the west, and the road goes
' around his place. The airline dis"
tance is 6| miles, but if, as at first
? suggested, it is opened by way of
. Brown's crossing, the total distance
> would be 81 miles. The route surveyed
by Mr. Bellinger, which passes
by the Orauge Grove (negro)
Baptist Church, was finally selected,
i and Commissioner Byrd, after con>
sultatiou with members of citycoun
oil, pledged the city to pay one-third
' of the cost of building the causeways
through Lemon Swamp, if the
same did uot exceed $300. If the
i cost exceeds that amount council
, will contribute $100, for it is a
thoroughfare that lias long been
ueeded and will greatly benefit the
city.
Mr. J. F. Jones, who appeared as
s the representative of the citizens of
. that section, said that while a perfectly
straight road would be the
best thoroughfare, the people out
that way were in such dire need of
> better communication with the shire
[ town that they would be satisfied
with auy old thing as long as it was
a road.
Finally, on motion of Commissioner
Byrd, it was resolved to open
the road, provided the citizens m;
terested did the preliminary work
and laid the corduroys in the low
places. Supervisor Kearse and his
' chain gang will do the rest.
1 The J. F. Hutto claim for repair1
ing Holman's Bridge, amounting to
$26.64, had been investigated by
the Supervision found U. K., and
was ordered paid, but G. W. IdighJ
towers bill for $10 for a coffin for
the unknown hobo who blew out his
r brains on the platform of the old
1 Last Denmark depot some time ago,
was, by advice of the County Attorney,
left unpaid. In theFitz bridge
> case a claim was made by O. F. Ott
' for$87.76 as Bamberg county's share
1 of the bill, which was one-half of
the gross cost. Supervisor Kearse
had investigated the matter aud he
p declared that this county was only
i responsible for 17 feet of the work
done. He was authorized to pay
r what, in his discretion, he considered
a fair amount for that.
The case of Adeline Chassereau,
who had made application to be
placed upon the pauper list was re
fused, and the name of Sylvia Spellr
man, now upon the list, was allow
ed to remain there. Frank Smith,a
r negro, had a claim for $2 damages to
1 his mule and team which fell
through one of the county's bridges
to which lie was hauling lumber.
r* His bill for this latter service was
- 50 cents. This was allowed, but
^ the claim for damages was refused.
The 500 names of persons eligible
for jury duty this year were selected
by the commissioners. From
e this list the jurors will be drawn for
s the four courts that will be held
I during the last year of the ninea
fnnnth Aflntnro
C LU^iUU VV/lilUi J
e There was an informal discussion
t running through the consideration
- of the claims presented as to the
s advisability of building a County
* Poor House, to accommodate the
r large number of paupers now on the
l list, a list that is being added to at
v such an alarming extent that Como
missioner Bvrd voiced the unani;
mous sentiment of the board when
j he declared:
"If we don't soon build a Poor
House, we'll bankrupt the county,
supporting paupers under the presJ
ent system."
A large number of claims were
. presented, carefully considered, and
ordered paid. The list will be pubf
iisiied in full next week.

Wanted, a Sow.
A brood sow*, Poland China, Berkshire,

Don't want one to outrun a nigger,
would cost too much, but will be
satisfied with one that can outrun
a chicken, or in fact, chick
ens, for she will have to hustle
for a living. I came near forgetting
to say she must have th it fondness
for chickens that they sometimes
develop. In fact chickens is to be
her feed, but, as I said before, she
will have to hustle for her living.
But there's plenty to be had simply
for the catching in nearly every
grain lot in and around town. And,
-Mr. Editor, when I get her and she
has cleaned them out of my grain
lot, I will lend her to vou or any
other good Christian who wants his
or her lot cleaned up. Then when
she has established a reputation as
an active and successful animal I
will take orders, at a reasonable
price, to supply all parties in need
of like service. When she is turned
loose, Mr. Editor, there will soon be
a rise in the chicken market. If
yon need any, better buy now before
the rise, but mind you, keep them on
your side of the fence, for that wildly
ed old sow will be no respecter of
persons?or I mean chickens. What
an opportunity for a despised animal
to make an enviable reputation.

elaborate church wedding had been
planned, but owing to illness of the
groom it was necessary to make a
change and have a ceremony quietly
conducted at home.
The parlor was tastelv decorated,
and a yoke of pure white roses was
suspended for the bride and groom
to stand under.
To the strains of Mendelssohn, artistically
executed by Mrs. F. N. K.
Bailey, the bridal party entered in
the following order: Mr. J. D. Milhous,
of Denmark with Prof. F. N.

Misses Evelyn Miihous,
Leonard Kelly, Alma Free and Master

costumes of rose pink contrasted
very prettily with the white organdies
of the bridesmaids, who wore
handsome butterfly hair ornaments
finished with crescent and brilliants.
These were gifts of the bride and to
be retained by each wearer as a sou
venir of the occasion. The gentlemen
were attired in full dress evening
suits, and retained at souveuirs
their ties, gifts of the groom.
The bride was tastefully attired
